Dark Halls

A long dark hall
candles flicker in secret rhythm
stones reek of pale orange fire light
footsteps trail far behind 
and each dying echo wondering 
lost in these long dark halls 
a figure in shadow lingers here, there 
a voice whispered at the edge of sleep 
dreams drift down long dark halls 
candles glow flicker
and flow in secret rhythm
as echoes die 
dreams are lost in the long dark halls.
